The War of 1812, which lasted from June 1812 to December 1814, was an .important milestone in Canadian history a fight for survival against American invasion. Officially, the war was between the U.S. and Great Britain, but it focused on Britain's North American colonies rather than on Britain itself. Most of the fighting took place in the border regions between the U.S. and Upper and Lower Canada [Ontario and Quebec].
The brunt of the fighting was borne by professional British soldiers stationed in Canada. They were supported by Canadian militiamen and also by native warriors. The native fighters included Chief Tecumseh and others from the Ohio Valley, and Mohawks from the Grand River in Upper Canada and from Caughnawaga in Lower Canada.
The war ended in a stalemate with neither side being the winner. The Treaty of Ghent, signed in Belgium on December 24, 1814, returned all conquered territory, so that the situation was the same as it had been in 1812. The big difference was that the people in the British colonies, especially Upper and Lower Canada, had gained a sense of nationhood. Together, they had fought to repel an invader, and this gave them a new pride and caused them to think of themselves as Canadians, identifying with the land in which they lived rather than in the countries they had come from.
Our NATIONAL PRIDE was born thanks to the war of 1812 BBB. So, FUCK YOU and your so-called corrections - you don't know what the fuck YOU'RE talking about
